NEFLIN does a variety of special projects with different organizations throughout Florida. Currently, NEFLIN is managing the following projects.
Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute
LSTA Grant
2004-2008
The Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute is a comprehensive series designed to develop the future leaders of Florida libraries. Each year forty participants are selected to complete ten days of training over ten months, which include networking with state leaders, hearing "personal reflections on leadership" from current leaders in many different types of Florida libraries, a tour of the State Library, and a graduation ceremony in Tallahassee. To date, 108 participants, including 27 NEFLIN members, have completed the program. Forty participants have been chosen for the 2007-2008 program which will be held in Port Orange and Ruskin.

College Of DuPage Programming
LSTA Grant
2005-2008
Through this ongoing project, NEFLIN negotiated a contract to provide access to the 2006-2007 College of DuPage teleconference series to staff at any library in Florida. More than 1,000 library staff, twenty percent more then during 2005-2006, viewed programs through streaming video or as a satellite downlink. The cost of presenting these programs was approximately $15 per attendee. The seven programs are now available on video or DVD from each of the multitype library cooperatives and the State Library. NEFLIN is pleased to be able to provide access to the 2007-2008 programs. Libraries can learn more about the programs.
